The first edition of a new quarterly publication, Ma Bad which means in English: BEYOND, has appeared in the market in Egypt. Ma bad is a new format for open, democratic and public dialogue that reaches out to all.  It's reporters are those who contribute to the newspaper, and it has so far no paid staff. Everybody on the board is a volunteer.

The first edition speaks about religion and civilization and tries in a modest way to bridge the gap between Islam and other religions and civilizations in a manner that would promote the notion that Islam is a civilized religion, not a religion of terror.
Ma Bad also displays the very positive contributions of Islam to humanity among them women's rights and individual rights. It also discusses the relation between the one and the other, meaning the outlook of different cultures and civilizations.
Ma Bad also published a substantial portion of the UN report on the Alliance of Civilizations.
